Hi all! I just uploaded the complete rewrite of my website, with a few additional tracks. You can find the downloadpage at: http://www.juliencoder.de/en/download.html Or for the German guys at: http://www.juliencoder.de/de/download.html (beware German site is still incomplete!) The software I used is mainly ecasound, loads of ladspa-plugins, fluidsynth and ZynAddSubFX. Occasionally a bit more... Thanks to all the great lads, who made this possible! Btw. Feedback is highly welcome! (I'm practically longing for you to beat me up for my bad mastering or something... :0)) Kindest regards Julien -------- Music was my first love and it will be my last (John Miles) ======== FIND MY WEB-PROJECT AT: ======== http://ltsb.sourceforge.net the Linux TextBased Studio guide ======= AND MY PERSONAL PAGES AT: ======= http://www.juliencoder.de

[linux-audio-user] Audacity crackles, KRecord is just fine (SuSE 10.0 x86_64)

by lanas

Folks, While getting Fedora Core 5 to eventually try CCRMA, I'm trying to record using a microphone and Audacity. Card is M-Audio 1010LT, mic is M-Audio Pulsar that goes through a phantom power box and then to one of the mic inputs of the card. When I record using Audacity, playing a recorder flute, the sound is terrible, full of crackling sounds. I read some issues about that on the Audacity web site, but all points to editing the preferences and none of the Audacity menus I have (SuSE 10.0) shows any preferences ! So after an hour or so of trying, I gave up and used anopther recording software bundled with SuSE: KRecord. I guess this is a simple as it gets. Works fine. The sound is without any crackle and distortion. Anyone knows why Audacity can be so terrible at recording, and how to use it so it gives nice sounds ? Thanks ! Al

[linux-audio-user] logomania redux

by Dave Phillips

Greetings: I've been adding some logos to the top page at linux-sound.org, and I thought it might be time to make some remarks regarding them. Some are nice, some are very cool, and some are pretty awful. The logo for LilyPond really needs an update, and where is Ardour's bitchin' cool logo ? Some need titles (IMO), such as Aeolus, Common Music, LilyPond, ChucK, Dino, and Khagan. I'm not a graphic artist, and I'm not going to go through the process of overlaying titles. If the devs for those apps are happy with the logos, that's perfectly cool by me, but IMO it's better to have a title. Some other logos are in need of an update, e.g. PlanetCCRMA, LAU, and RTcmix. Is Thorsten our only graphic artist, or does anyone else here have good graphics skills ? I'm sure I'm missing logos for other apps. If you have an application listed on linux-sound.org, please contact me if you'd like to add a logo to the top page. Best, dp

Re: [linux-audio-user] Wine introduces ASIO support

I was under the impression that JUCE was the audio part. Maybe I am in error. There is a tkresources.dll in the Tracktion directory.

I never said Tracktion is ready to use under WINE. It is just available to check operation of ASIO sound cards. JUCE is linux-native, I believe opensource. A reason the UI is not fully functional is that it may be based on tk. So a linux port may be in order ... but this is paid software so how many linux-audio-er's want to fork up the dough?

(There is already VST support around compiled using Winelib--standalone jack client jack-vst and support in several audio programs) Anyway, why did the folks doing jack remove support and what will the problems be for WINE? ASIO, as well as VST, are proprietary, non-free. While their creator, Steinberg, gives out the development kit freely, this is not opensource. Posting stuff made with this on Debian and other distribution lists may or will be excluded. There may be a question whether or not WINE will/can distribute such packages. The SDK for ASIO and VST must be obtained from Steinberg. For example, two header files needed for VST compilations need be taken from there and should not be included in source packages. While jack may be "better", my dman2044 sound card sits unused under linux because its technology is closed and therefore no ALSA support. Its asio driver sits on my windows partition, waiting for that day. (To use a "foreign" PCI device, more than an ASIO interface may be required since PCI devices need be correctly initialized on startup.) Would love to test this thing! BTW, one app that almost runs on WINE is Tracktion (Many of its pop-dialogs simply never appear and must be dismissed with ALT-F4 to continue) It ASIO option in there and it detects devices from the windows/system directory. It can read its sample projects and attempt to play them. Ready to go?

[linux-audio-user] Crispy hi-hats

by juuso.alasuutari＠tamperelainen.org

Something's bothering me about making beats in Linux (without a dime to spare on a hardware synth): The lack of high-quality hi-hat samples. I recently fell in love with a site called Freesound [0], but although I've found great samples there I'm still missing those crisp, airy hats I hear when listening to "real" music. (You may not share my taste for psychedelic trance, but you will know what I mean if you listen to e.g. Infected Mushroom.) Of course much of the sound is achieved with EQ's and effects, but one must still have a decent starting point. The only hi-hats I seem find sound muddy and heavy (I don't mean the genre of music, I mean that the hat hits won't "dance" in the air above the head, if you know what I mean). Usually they're also ruined by static background noise. :( I'm considering trying to locate some FOAF who owns a wavetable synth with digital I/O so I could sample clean hi-hats, but I would much rather have them home-made. Can anyone please point me to a free sample repository with high-quality hats, or recommend a GPL'd drum synth? (I haven't tried Smack yet, and I'm keeping my hopes up high - I'm sure it can say "smack" very well, and I'm hoping the "tschik" will also please me. :)) Thanks, Juuso [0] http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/ ---------------------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through L-secure: http://www.l-secure.net/

[linux-audio-user] M-Audio Delta 1010LT - Alsa 1.0.11 - only Output on ch1 and 2

by acker＠indisgrace.de

Hi everyone, and sorry for my bad english ;) : i have a problem using my new M-Audio Delta 1010LT Card with Debian Sid - Kernel 2.6.17-2 and Alsa 1.0.11. When playing soundfiles with XMMS (using OSS or Alsa Output plugin) i only get sound on output 1 + 2. I installed the envy24control mixer and there the monitor tab shows only peaks on 1 + 2. When using the 2.6.16-2 kernel (i don't know the alsa version used here) and playing soundfiles with XMMS (OSS output plugin) - every output shows peaks and works. Can anyone help, please!? Greets, Acker

[linux-audio-user] M-Audio 1010LT and Pulsar mic (and jackd and SuSE 10.0)

by lanas

Folks, I basically have three questions that I managed to wrap up in a lot of words. Here they are. I finally started to get things going towards having a PC for recording music. So I got a M-Audio 1010LT. I'm using SuSE 10.0, so it was only a matter of selecting the card in Yast to have it going with envy24control. I also got a pair of M-Audio speakers, the Studio Pro 3 kind and although I like them (makes a great change from what I'm used to so far i.e. a flurry of Creative speakers) one of them is not working so I'll return them to the stop and since they don't seem to have any other I'll end up getting the M-Audio DX4 speakers. Anyhow, I also got a M-Audio Pulsar mic for the accoustic guitars I have. Upon reading the booklet that comes along, I found out that it needs what's called a phantom 48v power supply. I presume the 1010LT does not deliver that, so it's basically useless to try to connect the mic directly to one of the mic input of the card, is it ? I have to get a 'box' that supplies this power supply. Are these boxes outputting through a XLR jack or will I use a RCA input of the 1010LT for the mic ? Also, does any one have a link on how to setup jack for a SuSE 10.0 system ? Starting one of the jack applications complains that jack is not there. Yast does not seem to have anything about it. And finally, now that I get good sound from the speaker (singular at the moment!) can I also get treeble/bass/EQ control of that sound ? Looks like envy24control does not have these settings. Cheers, Al
